Students are introduced to the five senses through tasks that require them to use each sense in isolation. Students discover how humans use their senses to learn more about their environment.

Students name the five senses, compare learning with and without the senses.

Students explore their five senses. In this senses lesson plan, students explore mystery boxes and use only one sense to determine what is inside the box. Examples of items in the mystery boxes include maracas, lemons, and cherry lotion.

Students explore the world around them and identify their five senses and the parts of their bodies that are associated with each sense.

Students make observations. In this sensory skills lesson, students use their senses as well as tools that sharpen their senses to make observations regarding foods and other items.

Students explore the parts of the body that are used to develop the five senses. They conduct a nature walk. Students identify the things they see, hear, smell, and touch. They create a graphic organizer to organize their answers.

Students explore their senses. For this biology lesson plan, students will learn about their senses, what affects them, and how the brain works to control our senses in a series of lab activities.

Third graders use logic and knowledge of mathematics facts to solve problems. They see that pigments can be broken down into separate colors. Pupils recognize the capacity of water to move upward and measure the height water travels up...

Students are introduced to the relationship between light and vision. In groups, they participate in experiments to discover how different wavelengths are divided in the visible spectrum. They record their answers and discuss their...

Investigate the fascinating, yet terrifying phenomenon of hurricanes from the safety of your classroom using this earth science unit. Focusing on developing young scientists' spacial thinking skills, these lessons engage...

Students explore "matter." In this literacy and three states of matter lesson, students listen to Bartholomew and the Oobleck by Dr. Seuss, then work in groups to explore "oobleck" (cornstarch and water mixture) with their five senses....

Write, edit, and then revise! The fourth lesson in a five-part series asks peers to provide feedback on research. Individuals then use the research to edit and revise conclusions and develop their presentations.

Students explore how their senses work. In this senses lesson plan, students use the sense of smell to observe various spices. Students discuss their findings.

Learners explore objects before and after heating using their senses.  In this matter and energy instructional activity, students experiment with a variety of objects and use their senses (except taste) to make predictions and...

Young scholars study water molecules, cohesion and surface tension.  In this molecule cohesion lesson students create chemical reactions that cause a balloon to inflate and another one that results in soap suds.

Our bodies have some amazing capabilities, but there are some limitations. Explore the limitations of the human eye through the eighth lab activity in a series of 12 biology lessons. Individuals measure their own peripheral vision...

Explore the unique characteristics of polymers. A complete lesson begins with a presentation introducing polymers. Following the presentation, young scientists develop a laboratory plan for creating substances using polymers. They...

Students explore the three main forms of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. They examine concrete examples of each, using their five senses and "experimenting" to find differences in them. They find pictures of each, cut them out and past...

What's it like to be a deep-sea explorer? Tap into the imaginations of your fifth and sixth graders with a vivid lesson, the second part of a six-part adventure. Learners close their eyes and submerge themselves in an expedition aboard...

Math scholars identify four different rock types in that strata and use this identification and data to construct a two dimensional geologic cross-section. They use data tables to construct a three-dimensional geologic cross-section.

Delv into the states of Matter. Students engage in the scientific inquiry process to uncover the exciting world of Matter. They watch a series of videos, and conduct experiments in order to collect and analyze data on the various state...

Fourth graders provide a habitat for live mealworms and observe their life cycle. In this animal life cycle and scientific inquiry lesson, 4th graders create a habitat for a live mealworm and observe and record related data as it grows....

Students use the senses are to make observations about phenomena. They use a peanut and its shell as the object of a series of observations. In addition, they complete a drawing with their written observations to use as a guide to choose...

Students read "How To Make an Apple Pie and See the World", the story of a girl who traveled the world to find the ingredients to make her apple pie. They conduct a series of interdisciplinary activities including testing their senses,...
